DRIVER’S LICENSE
OR PASSPORT PICTURE
At the airport I hand over my driver's license
or my passport for a look-see – to the check-
in-people when getting a flight - and the custom’s
people when coming back into the country.
They study my picture and they study my face.
Yes, it’s me, but nobody else seems to study
my face to see if it’s really me – to see if I’m
really here or somewhere else in my mind or
heart – thoughts or feelings or wonderings.
Please study my face when talking to me.
I don’t know about you, but me, I’m often in
far countries and far away places with my face
and eyes in this room - but my mind and my
thoughts are usually
some place else.
